This book fills a noticeable gap in Forsyth studies. Itprovides readers interested in the thought of Forsyth with a way of reading andcritiquing his corpus, and that in a way that takes due account of, andelucidates, the theological, philosophical and historical locale of histhought. Goroncy explores whether the notion of ‘hallowing' provides aprofitable lens through which to read and evaluate Forsyth's soteriology. He suggeststhat the hallowing of God's name is, for Forsyth, the way whereby God bothjustifies himself and claims creation for divine service.
This book proposesthat reading Forsyth's corpus as essentially an exposition of the firstpetition of the Lord's Prayer is an invitation to better comprehend not onlyhis soteriology but also, by extension, his broader theological vision andinterests.
